Have any of the groups released or plan to release the captions that are broadcast along with the anime? At the beginning of most anime series it usually says 字幕放送.
Some of the drama fansubbing groups are releasing the Japanese captions so it looks like it is possible.
This would be very helpful for people learning Japanese since it's often easy to miss what it is being said but reading the subtitles gives confirmation of what is being said.

The problem is that you first need to get your hands on a raw or transport stream which has those captions included. It's not so much on the group, as on the raw -- or at least that is where I picture the biggest problem myself. I've yet to see one like this myself...

Yes Menclave has been doing that for Gundam 00 by getting the TS (Transport Stream) with a separate file for CC, so that the translator can translate directly from the captioned Japanese text. I think they also uses the CC rips (OCR'd). I'm not sure where they get them, but yeah, there seems to be people releasing the CC in textual forms.

Not that I've ever done this, or even know how to do it, but what's wrong with looking at the closed captioning for clarification on certain lines? I know there have been plenty of times where it would have been helpful e.g. English loan words that have their pronunciations butchered, etc.

I agree. Having the closed captions allows for more accurate translation, and we can make sure that we're not leaving anything out when we're translating. I don't see why this is "cheating": I'd prefer having translation accuracy improved than have anime blogs calling people "liars".

I agree with tun/Fighter747 as well. It could only help the translation process. Especially if its a more complicated line, or one that is very hard to hear.

I'm still working on it, but apparently it is impossible to formulate a post so incredibly stupid that everyone will immediately realize that the author has to be either joking or sarcastic.

Take one normal Windows computer with a rather big harddrive, enable remote control either by VNC or by remote desktop, hook it up to one of these and connect it to the internet with a fast link and install the proper software and you have your raw capping box.
